Soma

Soma (carisoprodol) is a muscle relaxant that is prescribed to relieve discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. It works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain, providing temporary relief from muscle spasms. Soma is typically used in conjunction with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments to enhance recovery.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Soma Work?

Soma acts by inhibiting the neuronal signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). It is believed to work through its metabolite, meprobamate, which has anxiolytic and sedative properties. By affecting the CNS, Soma reduces muscle tension and alleviates pain associated with muscle injuries.



Common Dosages

  • Tablets: 250 mg and 350 mg strengths.

Typical Dosing

  • For muscle spasms: The typical adult dose is 250 mg to 350 mg taken three times a day and at bedtime. Treatment duration should be limited to a few weeks.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Soma is intended for short-term use. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants while taking Soma, as they can enhance the sedative effects and increase the risk of respiratory depression.
